Specializes in Obstetrics & Gynecology

Unpredictable: Bleeding due to Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) can be irregularly irregular, and prolonged. If you have stopped the Depo, give it 3 months or so, provided you feel Ok otherwise, also if you have been sexually active since you stopped the Depo, do a pregnancy test
